Pandora's box is open; we're moving towards a world where white collar workers will be working 24/7 and they'll be expected to do so. It won't matter if I'm washing the dishes, walking the dog, driving to the supermarket, picking up my kids from school. I'll always be switched on, on my phone, continuously talking to an LLM, delivering questionable features and building meaningless products, destroying in the process…

This technology should be liberatory, and allow us all to work less while enjoying the same standard of living. We've all contributed in its development by creating the whole corpus of the internet, without which it could never have been bootstrapped. The only reason we can't expect this is that we live under a system that is arranged for the sole benefit of the owners of capital, and have been convinced that this is…

It would be a deep irony if LLMs ended up ushering in the social rupture that never arrived in the industrial era. When the pigs turn hogs and refuse to share even the scraps, they shouldn’t be surprised if the system they depend on becomes their undoing.

Claude Code on the web, ChatGPT Codex and Google Jules are not the same as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. They are entire apps where you authorize Github access and they work via PRs. They'll include screenshots on your PRs etc. I like using them a lot when I can.

Right, yes, that was precisely my point - it was weird to me that people were comfortable operating on a codebase that they don't have locally, that they can't directly interact with.

when the agent pushes the PR, in a branch, you can switch to that branch locally on your machine and do whatever, review it, change it, and ask for extra modifications on top, squash it, rebase it

I have my very fast macbook pro at my desk in my office, and I use tmux and tailscale and git worktrees and I’ve built a notification setup like this author.

Thanks to tailscale and ssh I can vibecode on the go from my phone with this setup.

While it’s great to leave a task running, no matter what I do I can’t achieve the type of high quality work on the go that I can when I’m sitting at my desk.

For me working on a full SaaS.. I just can’t do quality work on my phone.

The only way I can do quality work is to sit at my desk where I’m focused on the work. To play with the result of a prompt, take copious notes, feed them back to the agent, not ship until the thing is polished to a shine. To feature flag the changes, review all code in excruciating detail as though it was written by a dyslexic intern, add all the metrics and logs one can think of (VictoriaMetrics), add user-behavior logging (Amplitude/Posthog) and monitor the thing like your livelihood depends on it. Because it’s a product and you have pride in your work.

All of that needs loads of screen real estate and a keyboard.

So I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I have a project where I've made a rule that no code is written by humans. It's been fun! It's a good experience to learn how far even pre-Opus 4.5 agents can be pushed.

It's pretty clear to me that in 12 months time looking at the code will be the exception, not the rule.

The answer is boundaries

If I get emails outside of work hours and they're not urgent - I reply during work hours. This is no different

Burnt out workers are far less productive so win-win for everyone

Not quite the same thing, but I wrote my own agent (as in a replacement for Claude Code) that uses SSH for all operations. That means I can run a very minimal VM (like 4GB RAM Oracle free tier), run the agent locally, and the agent only operates on remote files. The limitation is that some Typescript builds run out of RAM (even with swap) and I can't use playwright, but still it's been useful. It's fun writing an age…

oracle free tier seems to be 1GB RAM.

why dont you run the VM on your machine?

This would potentially be true for a lot of tech in the last five decades or so. When it gets cheaper to make the things people need and want without those needs and wants changing, you can get away with paying people a lower real wage for the same productivity. Couple that with the fact that the workers themselves also have typically grown more productive from the same tech, allowing companies to undercut competitor…

name something so we can look into it and figure out if its true!

I don't think that's possible to analyze for most technologies. How could we determine the effect of, say, OLED technology specifically on workers' real wages across the economy? Even doing the same for a particular seller's margin, say LG, would be difficult and wouldn't tell the full story. If you have an idea of how to do that for something let me know.

I've been working on something similar: https://github.com/shepherdjerred/monorepo/tree/main/package... Essentially you run a server on some machine. Sessions are created in Docker containers, K8s pods, or via Zellij (an app similar to tmux). You can: - Directly attach to sessions via Docker attach (built-in via a TUI). You get a normal Claude Code experience, but multiplexed. The switcher/UI shows you the status of…

Looks super nice, will take it for a spin.

Yes that works too.

But this way I can open the firewall, npm run dev and send the link of my new vibe coded security vulnerability/app to my friends without my computer running.

Plus a VM for this, a container for that and soon my 32GB memory isn't enough. I offload aggressively.

Well, that's part of the problem isn't it? Do we just assume the worst, or what's the solution?
